talk to them, they're gonna call the techs, etc, call me back

they call me back at 6 - over an hour after the office nominally closes

Uh oh.

they want me in at 8 AM tomorrow, they have a doctor

I am at my mother's house, two hours south

ok

so

Oof.

eat food, pack up all my shit & the cat, call Y-town friend for ass early ride

load up the corolla

all of this, done by 6:50. ruthless efficiency.

I can picture it.

........start the corolla?

..........

NO.

Nope.

Oh crap.

Posey no go vroom.

8 AM appointment.

So. Mom says take her civic. we move everything to civic, we will deal with Posey TOMORROW

I am now home, having driven 2 hours in Not My Car

I feel like I have won.

Good idea, Mom. And yeah, I'd count that as a victory event.

Maybe not the best prize or best contest, but I have won it.

You deserve a SOLID night's sleep, once you can get to it.

I hope this is an overreaction on the dr's part.

How were the floaties for driving?

I am too wired to sleep right this moment, ngl

floaties are pretty much invisible against a dark sky

My right eye is also fine

Well that's godo.

*good

this kind of bleeding can be a symptom for a detaching retina, so an overabundance of caution is warranted

Yikes. Yeah, let's not have that happen.

I'm glad that, by hook or by crook, you made it home in good time.

yeah

but oof

oooooooof

Seriously.

It's one of the more convoluted schemes for getting out of staying at your mom's place....

ahahahahahah

You're not in pain, right?

nope!

GOOD.

scared & stressed, but not in pain

Can't blame you for scared & stressed. I'm just VERY glad that the doctors are taking your situation as a priority.

BRB -- bathroom

yeah

and, well - if this had happened tomorrow, I couldn't get in so swiftly and easily

if this had happened on monday I would be on a train to harrisburg
